Basketball coach charged after tourist killed

A US university basketball coach was arrested in New York on Thursday for allegedly landing a fatal knockout punch to a drunken Florida tourist.

Jamill Jones - an assistant to Danny Manning at Wake Forest University - allegedly slugged Boca Raton resident Sabor Szabo in the head early on Sunday morning for drunkenly banging on his car in Long Island City, according to law enforcement sources.

Szabo - in town for his stepsister's wedding - had left his brother's hotel and was looking for a cab he ordered, his family claimed.
